First AR build. (Are all triggers this bad?) - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Well after building ak's I decided to assemble an ar. I put the lower together this past weekend after I bought my lower and the lower parts kit at a local show. The trigger on it is absolutely terrible compared to my ak's. The pull on the ar feels like it has to be at least a 7-8lb pull. I can feel three distinct stages before the fourth stage where it breaks. Besides that I can't wait to save the funds to purchase parts for the upper. I can't afford to buy an assembled one so I will piece meal this.
Well I just took two quick pics and they are terrible but they will do for now.

If I don't like the trigger in my M6A2 when it gets here, I'll be putting a RRA 2 stage trigger in it.
I had a RRA M4 w/ the 2st and it was perfect.

Buy a NM RRA 2 Stage

Pete from Legal Transfers has then for like $85 I think.

What kind of lower and lower parts kit did you buy?

rogerxd45 · 11-21-2007, 07:12 PM

i put a dpms LPK in my ar and i really didnt like the trigger at all and after a few months i got a rock river 2 stage for $120 and i couldnt be happier it is nothing short of amazing i was shocked how great it feels.

I got everything through anvil arms. Their lower is extremely nice, they said their parts kit was their own, but who knows. I think I may just fluff and buff some parts tomorrow on the trigger group and see if that smooths anything out.

Don't be dry firing the lower without an upper or a hammer block.

speedracer211 · 11-21-2007, 07:46 PM

I know not to dry fire it. I am keeping the hammer from hitting the bolt catch with my hand and let me tell you it feels great.
